C284 The Conversation with Gao Deng(2)
Gordon was puzzled. Since Qingtian wanted to unify the continent, why did he come to find him first? Compared to a man with great ambition like him, he should first consider those greater powers.
"Maybe you don't understand the so-called strategy of surrounding cities in the countryside! Think about it. Which of the city lords of the big forces would take the initiative to submit to me? No, they are all staring at me. As long as I make any unusual movements, they might even join forces to destroy me. Wouldn't I be foolish enough to go over there and give it to them? It's impossible for them to be captivated by my invincible temperament just because I'm handsome." What Qingtian said made Gordon understand what was going on.
"That is to say, it's easier for you to contact all these small powers. They don't have the strength to target you. Moreover, after being bullied for so long, they will definitely be interested in your request. It seems like this is a win-win solution! " Gordon was indeed very smart. He had already thought of all the things that had happened before he could finish his sentence.
"Indeed, that's what I think." Talking to smart people would save him a lot of trouble. "But I think your plan might not be so easy to achieve." Gordon's words extinguished half of Sky High's enthusiasm. "What do you mean?" After all, Gordon knew more than him. The first time he came to find him was because of his knowledge.
"I think you don't know the distribution of powers in the continent yet. It is not as simple as you think." Gordon stood up, as if he had met something he was good at, and chatted leisurely.
"Other than the Unfalling City, the entire continent is divided into five big and five small powers. These ten powers can also be considered as five major powers, because they are the elders and their shadow powers who had split up in the past! At that time, the elders were very smart, and they left behind a path of retreat for themselves after leaving the island. Because those five small forces were all their deputies, they colluded with each other. Back then, the patriarch had just passed away, leaving only two elders to defend Unfalling City. This was also the current official Elder Council!
However, none of the elders had such a long lifespan. In the span of tens of thousands of years, they had died a long time ago. Although the remaining successors were united, the influence of benefits made the alliance between them and their descendants more and more loose. In the end, they became irrelevant forces, or even enemies. As time passed, it became the current situation. Every force actually became enemies.
But if you go by your own way of thinking, it probably wouldn't be that simple. I can do it here, but there are some small factions that are still connected to the large factions in the past. I know of two of them, which means that there are only three small forces that you are most likely to fight for. I am also one of them." Gordon's words made Qingtian come to a realization. Although this continent wasn't big, it was still a small continent. Fortunately, he had come here to consult with him first. Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss.
"Then, since you have said so, what good ideas do you have? First of all, I should fight for those few small powers, right? I already have a way to deal with those big powers. Today I found you and gained a lot, but I still hope that you can help me with a few things." Looking at the smiling face of Qingtian, Gordon felt a chill run down his spine.
"Haha, patriarch, what you said is wrong. As long as you need anything, just let me know. I, Gordon, will definitely help you with it." At this point, how could he not agree?
"This matter is as simple as it sounds. Of course, it is also very difficult to say something that is hard to come by. But as long as you have confidence and brains, you will definitely complete it. I want to see if you have enough brains, but it depends on whether you are flexible or not. I believe you have already guessed what I want you to do, don't worry. After the matter is done, you will have an elder position!" Atlas tossed out a huge cake. He believed that Gordon would understand after weighing the pros and cons.
As expected, he said, "What you mean is that you want me to contact those smaller forces because we are in the same boat. If I go, the success rate will be higher. However, your temptation is indeed not small, Elder! When our clansmen were truly united, how powerful was the Elder? He was a god-like figure. Do you think I would have the ability to do so?" Although Gordon coveted this position, he still knew his own limitations. He wouldn't lose his way just because of a few good words from Tian Qingtian.
"I have never reneged on my words! If I want you to be an elder, then you have to be an elder. Right now, I'm talking to the heavens here. No one dares to go against my words. Also, you have to remember: in this world, not only powerful strength can stand at the peak. Some people can rely on it to become revered peerless experts." Tian Qingtian pointed at his own head and said.
He didn't know how deep his words would affect Gordon in the future. This man had changed because of Tian Qingtian's words, and he would become his important advisor in the future. He was also the person who was called the Mysterious Green Military Advisor by the people in the future - Gordon.
Seeing that he was about to retort, Atlas pressed his finger against his lips. He gestured for him not to speak. "Do not underestimate the use of wisdom. There are people who can strategize thousands of miles away. There are people who can retreat thousands of troops without a single soldier. These are all things that have happened in the past, but you do not know about it. The continent in front of you is just a small part of this world, just like how a frog sitting at the bottom of a well can only see the sky as big as the well. The capital that you are in has also fallen behind due to the long isolation on this continent. If this continues... Will you become a group of barbarians who only know how to fight? "Qingtian's words have made Gordon's eyes widen. He really can't believe it. How could such a theory come out of a young man's mouth?
" I... I got it. I will do my best. If possible, I will fight for these few small powers. " Gordon was somewhat numb. Where did this man come from? It seemed like he had been looking at this continent for a long time and was now aiming for the right time. He descended from the sky. Every step he took seemed to have been planned. Up until now, he had never failed. It was not until something happened that this person truly felt that it was difficult to deal with. Actually, every step that Qingtian took was planned by Wolf. It was just that they would never have thought that this kid would be able to improve so quickly.
"When you get there, you don't need to be weak all the time. When the time is right, you need to display powerful martial power to have a deterrent effect. Although you used to be in the most embarrassing state, I think you should have a good wind and rain now. You must have lived a much better life than those few small days. When the time comes, I will be by your side. When the time comes, I will take care of one or two of them. If you don't comply, then I'll have to kill you. Who would be willing to waste their time on unimportant people? We are all busy people, there are still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with... This matter needs to be done as soon as possible." Tian Qingtian whispered into Gordon's ear as he walked to Gordon's side.
"You want to follow me?" Gordon was a little surprised. He felt that Tian Qingtian wasn't the kind of person who didn't trust him.
"What? You don't like it? I seem to be the best bodyguard around you. In order to prevent you from hitting the wall, I will be there to knock the mountain and shake the tiger." The treacherous expression on Qingtian's face made Gordon very uncomfortable. "How can a person have so many feelings and ideas?"
"Alright, I have finished what I needed to do. I have already told you what I need to do. I will take my leave now. Think about what you should do next. I hope you can do it as soon as possible. It's best to leave tomorrow and settle this matter within ten days." As soon as his voice faded, Qingtian's figure had already disappeared, leaving Gordon alone with a bitter smile on his face. "It seems like I am really tied up with this person. I wonder if I have done the right thing. He was definitely a devil. At least, those who stood opposite of him wouldn't have a good ending. After a while, Gordon finally got rid of his worries and focused on his future.
As for our Young Master Yang, he ran to Fatty Turu's Chamber of Commerce. He didn't know many people in this world, and this guy was one of them. Fatty was still the same. Recently, due to the busy city, he had also become busy. Business was very good. His entire body seemed to have gained another round of weight. When he saw Qingtian, he was very surprised. Then, he pulled Tian Qingtian to drink with him. Tian Qingtian also passionately drank with him, but he was thinking about what would happen in the future.
